PLEASANTON, Calif. (November 30, 2006)
– Panoptx, a leader in high-performance eyewear for motorcycle, marine, optical
and snow sport channels, today unveiled its 2007 Speed Series line with the
introduction of two new styles, the Taku and Zephyr. Designed for sports
enthusiasts looking for additional protection, Speed styles offer the added
advantage of an EVA air dam eliminating 75% of wind and glare. In the Velocity
series, engineered for consumers looking for the highest level of performance,
Panoptx introduces Whirlwind, featuring Panoptx’ patented Orbital Seal™ eyecup
with a 100% seal and filtered vents to manage airflow. When consumers don’t need
the protection of a full eyecup, it can be easily removed, creating a stylish
sunglass.

The
full-wrap Taku sports a thicker air dam providing a better seal versus what
ordinary sunglasses offer. Bold frame colors appeal to the fashion forward male,
while the medium to large face fit accommodates a wider variety of shapes.
Zephyr, available in “trend-right” Bone, fits smaller faces and joins the Avanti
and Gale, popular women’s styles. All have the new revamped EVA air dam, keeping
wind and glare at bay and deflecting 75% of airborne irritants, peripheral glare
and wind.

Taku
is available in Horn, Glossy Black, and Charcoal, MSRP: $75.00-$175.00. Zephyr
is available in Bone, Glossy Black and Marble Tortoise, MSRP: $75.00-$175.00.

“We
not only provide our customers with a performance advantage, but also, a touch
of fashion that enables them to express their personal style,” said Jackson
Hogen, vice president of marketing, research and development. “Panoptx is a
brand with a passion for innovation. We’ll continue to lead with technology
without forgetting that eyewear is very personal and has to look great.”

In
addition, Panoptx is introducing Whirlwind, a new Velocity Convertible product
that is the first Panoptx style also to be offered in the Speed Series (as the
Vortex frame style). Whirlwind features a versatile fit for medium to large face
sizes and a complete wrap providing exceptional peripheral vision. Whirlwind is
available in Dark Tortoise, Glossy Black and Gray Tortoise, MSRP:
$125.00-$250.00.

Both
Speed and Velocity Series frames include the choice of one of the following lens
types; SharpTec Copper or Gray; ColorTec Copper or Gray; ColorTec Polarized
Copper or Gray, PureTec™ Photochromic Day/Night or Dawn/Dusk; and PureTec
Photochromic Polarized Copper or Gray. All lenses contain anti-fog coating with
prescription availability. Prices vary depending on lens type.
